PrimeOutput() and NullReferenceException problems with DataReader Source in SSIS
Hi
I have an integration services script that was working ok until a recent database upgrade. When I run the script in gui debug mode it behaves as follows. The data flow reads in data from an oracle server table VALNREQ & then uses it to populate a sqlserver table (with a little manipulation of the fields in between). For some reason although it populates the destination table with the correct number of rows (& the data looks ok) it errors out with the messages listed below. The DataReader Source dataflow source box turns red & all the other boxes turn green including the destination one. I have run out of ideas ... any suggestions? Have I inadvertently changed a property without noticing? I can't see anything obvious & the input data itself looks clean enough.
Any pointers in the right direction would be great, thanks. I've been thrown in at the deep end with this s/w so I imagine there are a number of large gaps in my knowledge so apologies if there is a simple solution to this.

[DTS.Pipeline] Error: The PrimeOutput method on component "DataReader Source VALNREQ" (1) returned error code 0x80004003. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.
